What happens to thermal energy when it is transferred from a hot object to a cold object?

• The thermal energy remains the same for both objects.

• The hot object loses thermal energy while the cold object gains thermal energy.

• The thermal energy is destroyed.

• The hot object gains thermal energy while the cold object loses thermal energy.
